Disclosed is a strip of bandaging material having Velcro.RTM. strips at either end on opposite sides of the material. An absorbent pad is fixed near one end and on the side opposite the Velcro.RTM. strip. On the side opposite the absorbent pad, an S hook is provided with one end fastened to the material and the other end free. The absorbent pad is located over the wound and the longer end of material is wound around the extremity and fixed in place with the Velcro.RTM. strip at the near end of the material. The remaining material is passed through the hook and pulled back in order to apply pressure to the wound and reduce blood loss. The remainder of the material is wrapped around the extremity and secured in place with a Velcro.RTM. strip and/or a barrette clip on the far end.
